Black Stars winger Antoine Semenyo registered his name among the goal contributors as Manchester City recorded a 1-0 win over Coventry City in the Premier League.

The game, played on September 5, 2026, at the Emirates Stadium, was keenly contested from the start, with the Citizens struggling to break down their opponents for an early goal.

As the match progressed, Semenyo picked up the ball on the left wing, beat one defender, and delivered a high-flying cross into the box, where Erling Haaland headed home the decisive goal.

City pushed for more goals, with Semenyo creating additional chances, but Coventry’s resilient defending kept the scoreline tight.

The game ended nervily as the newly promoted side introduced Ghanaian duo Caleb Yirenkyi and Brandon Thomas-Asante, giving them momentum late on.

Frank Lampard’s men came close to an equalizer, but goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma produced crucial saves in the dying minutes to secure the slim 1-0 victory.

The Citizens’ push for the Premier League title remains on course after collecting three points from their opening three games.

Semenyo has proven pivotal so far, with his immense contributions both in attack and in defensive support when needed.
